Ladies, I have the winter vomiting bug (norovirus) since last night. Vomiting and diarrhoea (sorry tmi) I cannot keep water down and tummy cramps are rotten. Any advice or magic tips for me to survive?

If it’s short lived it’s okay, but if you can’t keep water down for more than 24 hours you may need to get some IV hydration. Sometimes things like popsicles or chewing ice stay down better than plain water..have you tried anything like that? Hopefully this passes for you, but if it doesn’t call your doctor.

That’s actually why I choose to find out. We chose to not find out gender for our first and I didn’t bond with my oldest at all during pregnancy. We found out with our second and I liked that so much more. I bonded with him and I was able to ‘prepare’ for another boy. Obviously everyone feels differently, but finding out gender was much better for us.

Greydore - that's exactly how I feel. I don't mind having another daughter but I do want to know early to prepare myself. I really want this boy more for hubby and I know he will need time to get used to the idea of having a 3rd daughter. He keeps saying that he's fine as long as the baby is healthy but I know he feels sad when he's around his friends with their sons and he wants that for himself. I'd rather we both know what gender to expect when the time comes.

House of blue- so sad to hear that! hoping baby a stays healthy and strong!

Nacire & jellybean- congrats!

Geek mama- that’s so cute!! I have been thinking about taking my boys to see a songram but I think I’ll wait till the 12 week one. I wish I could wait to find out the gender but I’m far too impatient.

We had an 8 week ultrasound and baby is measuring perfect with a very strong heartbeat of 190 bpm- is that too much? Doc said it’s perfect but seemed high to me. While I was there the doctor schedule my NIPT test for when I’m 10 weeks! I can’t believe I’ll be finding out the gender so soon! Is anyone doing gender reveal? Any ideas?

Simplypink - so glad to hear about the strong heartbeat! I am going to take my NIPT test Friday. Did they say how long the results take to come back? I'm so nervous about hearing the gender. I'd like to do a gender reveal in the spring. Would be fun.

Aw Feel better Dreaming...I wish I had magic tips. It's nice that we have some nurses on our group though :-)

And thanks Elliroseanne!! Actually my 14-year old daughter figured it out because I had been so sick. I had been pregnant 4x in the last 3 years so she remembers the symptoms. She asked me the night before my ultrasound if I was pregnant again and she was pretty worried because of my other losses. Now she wants to go to all my appointments to make sure me and baby are ok, which is very sweet of her.
Also - I hope things are ok - glad you caught it early if it is GD.

DreamingRainbow, oh no!!! You poor thing! That’s horrendous!!!! I hate feeling that way! Just keep hydrated! Popsicles? Vitamin water? I hope it passes quickly!

[Ellirosanne]

MLKA, keeping mg my fingers crossed for a healthy baby boy for you! Your 14 year old sounds so sweet!

Elirosane- hope your test results come back normal. I always shake when I don’t eat. With my last pregnancy I would definitely get the shakes if I didn’t eat every couple hours. I was so scared I would have it again with my second but I ended up not having it again. Hoping to hear good news for you.

Mlka- I am also very nervous! Honestly, I’m so scared, I almost want to delay it a little :/ I didn’t ask how long it took to get the results but a few of my friends said it took them about a week.

We did a sneak peak at work today and both babies were wiggling around in there! We were only able to get a somewhat recognizable as human baby (I think) shot, lol, and one where you can kind of see both babies at once if you can see through the blur... it was an abd usAB1394E3-8A16-4305-9431-B77FF67106C7.jpeg42537EBC-A5A4-4767-A9B2-AB8061CC9B39.jpeg

Ellirosanne that is so exciting!!! I want to try the ultrasound machine so bad, but I know it won’t show anything since I’m only 6 weeks...I need some patience, lol
